LID-3300IP Ice Detector for cold climate wind turbines

Icy weather conditions impede wind turbine service reliability, as ice can easily form on the rotor blades. The phenomenon is common in northern coastal regions. Ice reduces the productive capacity of wind turbines considerably and burdens their construction, which leads to an increased need for expensive and time-consuming maintenance.

In addition, ice falling off of rotor blades can cause damage to buildings and people near the wind turbines. Equipping wind turbines with Ice Detectors can significantly reduce security risks, and strain caused by ice formation.
